On Friday, June 24th at 9:15 a.m., we will be honouring our Grade Seven students. This is the time for us to acknowledge the end of elementary school for the Grade Sevens as they move on to high school.  It is also the time that we will present the “Gray Award” to those students receiving recognition for their contributions to the school and the work that they have done in their studies. This is a bittersweet day as we are happy to see our senior students transition into the wider world but we are also sad to say goodbye to them.

The assembly will last approximately 60 minutes. Grade 6 students and staff will join the parents in attendance for the ceremony. If you have a primary aged child whom you would like to have watch this event and support their older sibling, please make arrangements with their classroom teacher to have them attend and sit with you.  We have over seventy Grade Seven students, and over seventy Grade 6 Students, so due to space limitations only two guests per student will be allowed.

Following the ceremony, Grade Seven parents and students will be invited to go outside to the front of the school to take photos. Extended family (grandparents, aunts and uncles, etc.) are invited to take part in this portion of the day.  At 10:30 a.m. parent volunteers will need to begin getting things ready for the Grade Seven luncheon and dance that will take place in the gym at 12:00 p.m.  At 11:00 am students will return to the building with their teachers to sign yearbooks and get ready for the afternoon’s activities.

We would like to acknowledge all the hard work of the Grade 7 Year End Event Planning Committee for the time and effort they put into planning this special event for our students.

We sincerely hope that all parents and interested relatives of Grade Seven students will be able to join us for this important milestone in their child’s life.
